OOUTH doctors begin weekend strike as Government fails to grant their request

-

Resident Doctors at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, Ogun State, have begun weekend  strike after their negotiations with the state government for improved pay collapsed.

The doctors had embarked on a three-day warning strike over appropriate remuneration and appropriate hazard allowance et al which led to negotiations between them and the state government.



It was learnt that the doctors under the aegis of the Association of Resident Doctors at the OOUTH were unable to reach agreements with their employers on some of their demands. In their   letter to  Governor Dapo Abiodun, they claimed  the state government   was  not committed to their welfare. The letter  jointly signed by the union’s president, Dr Popoola Mutiu, and the general secretary, Dr Osundara Tope, said  the association had resolved to work only week days and stay at home  during  weekends.

They said they would review the decision depending on the response of the  state government. The doctors however said their members working at the COVID-19 isolation centres would not be part  of the strike.

Couple uses son as collateral for 8000 naira Family of  Ajala Samuel a 15 year old boy thought they could briefly use him to raise  some money for some urgent family needs. But four months after he has been handled over to a Lagos trader, identified as Iya Meta, who in return gave them N8,000, the boy is no where to be found. Sources confirmed that Iya Meta allegedly loaned Samuel to some other traders on the Lagos Island, who paid even more for the boy, N72,000.  The traders were alleged to have further given him out to another family in the state. It's more like a relay race in which runners pass baton to one another. Two policewomen, identified as Titi and Funmilayo from the Ijora Badia division, were accused of harassing the family to refund the N72,000 paid to Iya Meta, failing which Samuel would be forced to work till October 2017 when the contract would expire. His stepfather, Idowu Isiaka, told PUNCH Metro that the family’s problem started in Jun

Celebration of a fulfilled life: Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi How does one measure a life well spent? That question appears very simple, but puzzling when closely examined. Is life measured by the actions taken throughout one's lifetime? Or is it measured by the number of challenges a person overcomes in life. Whatever the case may be, both religion and history agree on one fact, a life well spent is that which leaves a positive mark on the sands of time. The much loved 46 year old father, husband, brother, uncle and friend Dr Olugbenga Kuponiyi who was born into the family of  Late Pa Elijah Oluwatayo Kuponiyi and Mrs Beatrice Kuponiyi on the 28th of October 1970, impacted many people in the course of his life. Little wonder then that hundreds from far and wide stormed Sagamu, Ogun state to pay their last respects and commiserate with his family during his funeral ceremony, amidst cheers and tears. Cheers because his legacy definitely will live after him and tears because even

The Classic Jewish Wedding of Onyinye and Frank  *Featured Post Today’s wedding feature is unique in its own sense as it is the first Jewish wedding in Nigeria. We had to repost it because of it's uniqueness. All the elements of the wedding are unique, including the floral chuppah, the covering and the Yarmulke especially worn by the groom on top of his head. This wedding was such a sweet experience as it showcased Jerusalem, and anyone who has ever visited Jerusalem at any point in time would actually have something to think of,  as it will definitely remind them of a moment in Jerusalem.  Blessed experience indeed. Onyinye has always dreamt of a Cinderella wedding and this actually came to pass on the day of her wedding. Their cake stand was a Cinderella cart, adorned with brightly coloured beautiful flowers. Even their wedding ring was delivered by a horse and a page boy,  as against the normal box commonly seen at Nigerian Weddings. The hall was beautifully deco
